People in high school can't wait to get out and go to college. People in college wish they could be back in high school. I wish I could go back and relive my high school. There are too many things I miss!!

1. Colorguard/Winterguard

Colorguard and Winterguard were an escape for me in high school. No matter how much homework I had or how busy I was, I could always just go to practice and not worry about anything. Colorguard/Winterguard is not like any other sport. It is a team effort but at the same time it is also individual effort. Colorguard and Winterguard are more than teams; they are family. You spend so many hours and days together that you become brothers and sisters. Many disciplines in Colorguard and Winterguard you will not learn anywhere else. I miss Colorguard and Winterguard!

2. Having A Core Group of Friends

In high school everyone has their core group of friends. The friends you have classes with, meet in between classes, eat lunch together, meet up after school, hang out, and go to all the football games with. Some of the groups might get smaller and some might completely fall apart. You never know how much those people mean to you until they are gone. I miss having that core group of friends I can see everyday and count on. In the span of four years people change and it's not easier when you go off to college.

3. Having The Same Schedule Everyday

Life was so much simpler when you had a set schedule every single day, people told you where to go and your teachers reminded you of your homework everyday. Yes, college gives you a lot more freedom but with that freedom comes great responsibility. I wish life was like high school.

4. Football Games

Being in the band meant going to every single football game. Now, I never watched the actual game but the atmosphere was so much fun! Everyone was so excited and ready for the game that nobody was worrying about the four page essay due that next Monday, or how busy life gets. The atmosphere of football games are indescribable.

5. Band Trips

Not only was preforming in front of people the best part of band, but the band trips were too. If it weren't for band I would have never been anywhere in the United States. The trips made so many memories. Not only did we get to perform on a big football field or play on a new stage, we also got to discover the cities we went to. Being in band puts new and different perspectives on things.
